re: Maea Teuhema Suspended Indefinitely for Violating Team Rules

Fair enough. I didn't know there was such a thing.

Sounds like all is not lost.

Never understood those transfers

I understand the wide receivers but maybe those guys just weren't good

They sure left fast

I agree. The process seems like it's longer than when I was a lsu student. When I was a student, if you got charged with academic misconduct you were granted an UHP hearing pretty quickly with a 3 to 5 member panel. If it's a 3 member panel, one has to be a student, an official from academic affairs and one professor. Thats how it use to be. I served on an UHP panel a few times as a student. I don't think that part has changed but when I started at LSU, it was zero tolerance. You admit or UHP formerly sanctions the student for A.M, you gone forever, and my junior year I think they changed it to a 3 to 5 year suspension.

Today, the 1st offense now is a Zero on the assignment, or F for final grade whatever is applicable, placed on probation for a year. But that F could have knocked Teuhema from academic probation to academic suspension. The 2nd offense now I believe is an one year suspension. I think this was an Academic dishonesty problem, and I would have to assume that process could have been extended if the professor/instructor didn't catch the misconduct right away hence why the news is coming in August not May. But maybe it was a prepetual attendance issue, his grades suffered and put him on academic suspension.

But the process now from what I read from the LSU SAA site is longer and provides more due process.

On the bright side, at least you know we aren't going to try and play smash mouth with this OL.

Miles would still have tried to

Not to mention athletes have priority scheduling and the academic center for S.A. Knows what professors to take and what professors/instructors to avoid or proceed with caution. These athletes have a wealth of resources at their disposal, and most of the time the academic center for S.A. would never advise athletes to schedule their semester classes with over balance of difficult classes. Teu just didn't want to fulfill his part to meet minimal grade standards.

post of the day

We're F'ed...O-line recruiting has been brutal for a while...

Sure hope so...the unit as a whole is underwhelming to say the least...

Man, this team has the offensive line blues.

That will not change either, until O bites the bullet and hires a really good OL Coach. Not sure why he's holding on to Grimes. He's not getting it done Coaching or Recruiting!

When the Canada Offense is not quite what we all expected, this will be the main reason. We don't have 5 horses up front. We have 1 or 2 horses and 3-4 pony's. It's like that every season too............

Teuhema will play football for LSU this year. If there's any chance of him making it back, which there is by the phrase "indefinitely suspended", he will be back on the team prob before the season starts. If he had zero chance coach o would have kicked him off the team. I fully expect him to resolve his issues and be on the field this year. LSU and it's staff will make sure of it. He's too important to our success.
